Bravo Lamplighter! I see it's not for nothing that "lamplighter" is your handle.
You bring light to the benighted and humor impaired.

I was merely thinking that a much simpler thing to do would be for the offended parents to remove their kid from school. There is a mix of homeschooling parent types we encounter: The fellow travelers and the insane religious or frightened of moral decay and those who are simply afraid of their anima and animus.

Let me get this straight. So the school is going to send home a list, and the parents get to choose?

That is crazy. I know people who would mark every single word on any list and others that would be much more selective.

Who is in charge the parents or the teachers?

I admit it. I am a bad person for laughing at this.

Dumbass In The News
 

Not weird, so much as just dumb...

from www.abc-7.com

Here's the latest on Zen's story:

Maybe not so weird, but shows incredibly poor judgment. A DC Metro commuter climbs up an out of service escalator (an every day occurrence here) only to find that at the top of the escalator, it is under maintenance and several of the steps have been removed to expose the machinery underneath. There is a huge hole in the floor, with only some grease covered axles spaced every couple of feet. Instead of turning around and walking back down the stairs to use the adjacent broken escalator, this moron and a handful of other passengers decide to step from grease covered axle to grease covered axle to get across the pit. Then they blame Metro for their "terrifying" experience crossing the pit and go to the paper, which publishes a sympathetic article about them. Fucking morons.

They risked serious injury just to save about a minute of trudging back down the stairs and going back up the other side.

Metro was supposed to barricade the bottom of the escalator like they normally do, but for some reason that barricade had been pushed aside.

Glatt - total agree.
If you find yourself confronted by a potentially life-threatening situation in a commuter setting, you've taken the wrong turn! Warning signs and diversions go to buggery - go back down and make sure no-one else comes this way.

And yes, I've been a commuter and I know the frustration of delays. But sorry - if you risk your life, don't blame anyone else. Unless there is a specific sign which reads "The only way out is to step across these greasy supports with an unseen drop onto gears and spokes and other spiky things. Where we keep a crocodile from the sewers. Nom nom nom." Then you can sue.

Yeah, I think people like that should be led out of the court room via a dedicated exit into an area reserved for getting a beatdown for wasting taxpayer's time and money. That could be added to "loser pays" frivolous lawsuits.

Inmates in Georgia Prisons Use Contraband Phones to Coordinate Protest
By SARAH WHEATON
Published: December 12, 2010

I particularly enjoyed these lines of the story:

I didn't realize how progressive Georgia had become :D

Guess where they hide those contraband phones. Would you talk into one of them? You know, up close to your face. And mouth...

A good one regarding porno flicks...

Vibrator...




then Ass to mouth.

Man avoids jail in hit-and-run because of his job
 

I don't see how the prosecutor can justify this.

The rest is here.

That's just crazy.

Crazy, but not surprising if you've been following the news for the past, oh, I don't know, century?

But the prosecutor doesn't usually admit to the newspapers that they're letting the guy off because he manages a billion dollar's in assets in private wealth management.

It's not so much that it's become acceptable, more that it's become almost rebellious. "You want to pick on us rich folks? Well, here you go, put that in your pipe and smoke it." They're like the James Deans of the upper crust.

As foot said, it's been happening forever, but now it's like Rich Chic to throw it in people's faces.

Wow, he will go far with all those chips...

Not so much weird, but I saw the footage on the local news last night. Don't know why I can't find the video, but it made CNN.

Srsly? This merits this much coverage? -top story right now on AnnArbor.com. And they wonder why the paper version couldn't stay in business

Mons, I thought it's actually an pretty entertaining piece.

But then maybe it's an info ad... a come-on to invest in a nation-wide franchise.
Just think of all the advertising space on the dreidels and spinagogues !
And the tie-in's with the Knitting Factory franchises are endless.

This is really sticking in my craw.

The disturbing thing is that not only did he think this was okay, it didn't even register with him as something you shouldn't publicly admit to.

Dealing in Death, and Trying to Make a Living

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/29/...ex.html?hpt=T2

Man (woman's third husband) reads his wife's email and discovers she is having an affair with her 2nd husband. Third husband shares the news with the first husband, who filed an emergency motion to obtain custody of their son (2nd husband had a previous domestic violence charge.)

Third husband is charged with a felony (Michigan's anti-hacking law.)

OK, let's put aside the fact women like this stupid bitch are the reason women get such a bad rap. Let's put aside the fact that she needs smacked upside the head and so do at least the 2nd and 3rd husbands just for being blind morons...all that aside:

Do you think what the husband did was hacking, a felony? How is it different than hiring a P.I. to investigate a suspected affair? Where is the line drawn? Do you think the charge is over the top, or justified?

I really don't know. On one hand he deserves to know his wife is a giant ho-bag loser. On the other hand, what if he had unlocked a bureau drawer and found a pile of letters? Could he be charged with breaking and entering?

What say you?

What, you don't like my suitcase? :p:

Man Accused Of Robbing Bank With Child

LEBANON, Ohio -- A Warren County man is in jail after police said he tried to rob a bank with a child.

http://www.whiotv.com/news/26310362/detail.html

Wait, I'm confused: did the bank have a child, or did he use the child to rob the bank? "This is a sick-up, give me all your money or I'll throw the child at you."

:lol:

Perhaps it was "Bring Your Child to Work Day?"

It's unethical, but it's not hacking. She probably had her password saved on a shared computer. If you're that dumb, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

:lol:

Not weird news, just your typical warning to not drive drunk:

But I love the typo:

"We have increased numbers of offivers on the road, and their primary objective is to stop any impaired drivers," Burke said.

That's what I said when the offiver pulled me over! I'm like "Hey, offiver, I only had to, I mean two."

(I'm kidding, I spent the night at my friends' house.)

Sorry, I know this fits a stereotype, but given the source
I thought it was a funny headline and rating.

My Conclusion: Don't keep her barefoot and pregnant

*snicker*

Appalachian stereotypes aside, this is not a cause-and-effect connection. It's a question of who decides to have additional children. If you have one autistic child, you most likely don't have any more children, because you are financially and emotionally bankrupt. But if you have the second one before you know about the first one, then you've got a second child who is far more likely than average to be autistic. The hypothetical second autistic child who would be born 3 years after their older autistic sibling, and thus balance out the statistics, simply never gets born.
